As
case surveillance continues at the local health department level, it may reveal
that those tested in a certain county may not be a resident of that county, or
even the state as an individual in question may have crossed the state border
to be tested. Such
is the case of Nicholas,
Preston, Summers, and Wyoming counties in this report.
Please note that delays may be experienced
with the reporting of information from the local health department to DHHR.

Additional

To
increase COVID-19 testing opportunities, the Governor's Office, the Herbert
Henderson Office of Minority Affairs, WV Department of Health and Human
Resources, WV National Guard, local health departments, and community partners
today provided free COVID-19 testing for residents in counties with high
minority populations and evidence of COVID-19 transmission.
The testing resulted in 195 individuals tested in Gilmer County (first day of
two-day testing event). Please note these are considered preliminary numbers.
